How can you tell a leopard from a Plott?
You need to be more specific. Leopard could be any leopard colored dog...
Leopard cur is the same as a Leopard hound and then you have the Catahoula Leopard.
The leopard cur/hound are totally different from the Catahoula leopard. The leopard cur was bred strictly for hunting and most are open, cold nosed go yonder type of dogs.
This is where geography plays a part. as stated earlier in Fl or at least where im from leopard is anything spotted up or multi colored (with the exception of brindle) and generally mixed with a Fl cur. I never even heard of a catahoula until i started playin on the net a couple years ago. We just call them leopards, black and tans, saddle backs or yella dogs. If its a hound its called a hound if its a cur its called a cur. the old timers and boys i hang around with generalize alotta things. theres basically six different types of dogs. Cow dogs, hog dogs, hounds, curs, culls and pot lickers (yard dogs or mommas pet).
